Latest trial order from Chief Judge Moore (spoiler... trials continued till May)
The order is below. Although trials are technically continued until May, it's going to be longer than that. There is a pilot civil jury trial scheduled for May now (as reported earlier), but juror summons go out about 8-10 weeks in advance. So assuming that May pilot trial goes well and the Court decides to open things up again, we are looking at July before we get back in earnest.
